Get your hike on
With views so delish they could be on a postcard, it'd be rude not to explore them properly. If you think sitting still is for suckers, pull on your comfiest trainers and hit up the old donkey paths in the countryside for a literal walk through history. Oh, and make sure to pack some swimwear while you're at it, because there'll be a couple of beaches along the way, and trust us - once you catch a glimpse of those waters, you'll be begging for a dip.
Catch a movie under the stars
Calling all the film buffs - you can take your stuffy, indoor cinemas and stick 'em where the sun don't shine (literally). Mykonos does things a bit differently. Cine Manto is an open-air cinema turned restaurant (serving food from 10AM 'til 1AM) - perfect for loading up on snacks while you catch a late-night flick under the stars. Date night just got a major upgrade.
Pretend you know about wine
Wine-tasting in Mykonos is kind of a must. Those local farms and vineyards aren't there for nothing, you know! There are loads of places to get your local vino fix, but Mykonian Land is one of the most popular spots, offering bespoke tours of the winery and olive groves, a walkthrough of the whole process from start to end, and - of course - some time for tasting, with a side of salty appetisers and traditional Greek music.
Scuba dive right in
Beaches are the star of the show around these parts, but the sea in particular might take the cake. It's glassy-clear, which makes it perfect for spotting marine life and taking your snorkel or scuba gear for a spin. Mykonos Diving Centre is the most popular place to get stuck in, and it's got qualified instructors to guide you every step of the way, so even if you're a total newbie, you don't have to get your flippers in a twist.
Check out the Armenistis Lighthouse
It might've been built way back in the day, but this legendary structure is still standing and functioning today! It serves as a nod to Greek maritime legends of the past, and whether you admire it from afar or get up close and personal with a tour, it's definitely one to tick off your Mykonos list.
Get your history hit at one of the museums
History nerds and people who just want some Greek knowledge to impress their friends and fam with, the museums in Mykonos won't disappoint. There are a few to pick from, but the Archaeological Museum of Mykonos is a good place to start. It's on the small side so don't expect too much, but it still packs a punch with displays of gorgeous Greek vases, snippets of history, and - of course - cooling air con. You're welcome.
